Yorkie hair colors - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Copper is 18 weeks old. He started out the typical black and tan puppy. The hair on the top of his head has changed to gray and black mix. I also see some gray coming in on his coat under the black.

My question is...will he keep changing colors? I'm just curious about the process and what colors he will end up. Very interesting to watch!

Many yorkies will continue to change colors until they are 2-3 years old. I got my Uni at 12 weeks and she was starting to break on the head, silver actually, she looked like she was balding! The only way to know what color your yorkie will be eventually is to adopt an adult. But, I'm sure whatever your baby changes into you will love him!

Absolutely!! I do love him. I don't care what color he ends up, I'm just enjoying each little change in him!!

I'm sure you will turn out like me. exclaiming to my bf every day or so... Hey Uni's whiskers are turning gold! wait! now they are black again! wait! now they are black gold black gold black!

Trust me, they will get stripes. Like the rings on a tree stump, you can see how old a yorkie is. Love it! Where in so cal are you? We are having a bday pawty for my foster yorkie girl katie on Sat. I'd love it if you could be there! It's gonna be in Torrance.
